JAMES Patton does not take any stock

JAMES PARTON does not take any stock
in Mr.. Donnelly's cipher or theory that
Bacon wrote Shakespeare's plays. In
replying to the New York Worlds in
quiry as to his opinion of the "cipher"
Mr.. Parton writes: II have not read
the articles of Mr.. Ignatius Donnelly,
and cannot understand how any sane
mind can question the authorship of
Shakspeare's plays. If Shakespeare did
not write "Othello" Charles Dickens did
not write David Copperield." nor
Hawthorne 'The Scarlet Letter." nor
am writing this paragraph. If there
was q man in England who was further
than any other man from being able to
write the plays ofShakspeare it was prob
ably Lord Bacon. No mind weighted
with so much knowledge and worn with
80 much thought and study could have
scared 80 high nor flown so far. II
Shakespeare had had Bacon's mentality
and culture he could not have conceived
Falstaff and Dogberry, still less Ariel
and Caliban, nor cast into the air those
sparkles of song which have been the
wonder and despair Of every poet since
his day. Whoever wrote Shakespeare
plays was an actor and stage manager.
He had to be Just the sublime vagabond
we know he was"

Philadelphia TimeS:-There has been
a vital transa elton in most channels OF
business during the last decade, and il
Is still in progress. 1t is the transaction
from costly to cheaper products in every
line of business energy. Fabrics were
never as cheap as now, and most of the
necessaries of life are cheaper than be-
fore the war. = The specially
gratifying feature of the outlook
business outlook for the opening fall
trade is that there is no boom or specu-
lative tide in any of the varied leglti-
mate channels of business.
Springfield Union:-From this time on
till November. 1888, the National Re-
publican committee ought TO keep a
sharp eye on Virginia, West Virginia
Kentucky. Tennessee and North Caro-
lima. 1t might be worth more to win
those states to the Republican column
than to hold on to certain northern
states 1t is we'll to do both, but a good
big assure in the sohd south would
count for the future.

Ex-WARDEN REED has "eome back"
at Warden Stordock and taken
q hand himself in the matter of making
charges. Through his attorney, Mr..
Reed has fled petition in answer to
the charges against him. He denies all
the charges Of immortality and dishon-
esty in toto. The sixth charge, that of
taking for ten years the services of a
female convict without paying the state
therefor, he admits, but says it was
known TO the state board of PRISON in
spectors and had been the custom in
vague at the prison for thirty-five years
The ex-Warden then gives his attention
TO Mr.. Stordock, and alleges that the
investigation is part of a political con-
spiracy which was entered into in 1886
by certain Republican politicians. He
alleges that Stordock was at that time a
candidate for q certain position on the
Republican ticket, but that the leading
politicians would not hear to his candi-
dacy on account of his unsavory record.
This made Stordock angry and he
threatened to defeat the Republican
ticket. To appease him certain Repub-
icans promised him unbeknown to
Governor McGill an appointment in
case of the election Of the Republican
ticket. It was in fulfillment of this
bargain that these politicians induced
Gov. McGill to remove Reed and put
Stordock in charge Of the prison, the
latter instigating the charges against
Reed in order to have an alleged cause
for the removal. Mr.. Reed also paws
his respects 10 Mr. Stordock personally
and accuses him Of various immoral acts
while member of the legislature. Mr..
Reed prays that the charges he makes
be investigated. The following witness
es haye been subpened: Ex-Gov. J. s.
Pillsbury, Gov. A. r. McGill, Stanford
Newell, st. Paul; Capt. Cole, of Fergus
Falls: ]. J. Hill, Of the Manitoba road
and Attorney General Clapp. Other
prominent politicians will be called to
the witness stand. We fear Mr.. Reed
win find it difficult to prove his charges,
however much truth they may con-
tain.

THERE is food for good deal Of
thought in the following from the New
York Journal Of Commerce:
1.-THE moment all serious regard for
the hours of rest as sacred time is lost,
the greed of man comes behind the la
borer with its lash, and in spite of laws
forbidding work, the factory and the mill
are open and the workman must respond
or quit the service. Let this fact be i'm
pressed on the mind of every man who
asks for more of license on the first dav
of the week. A Sunday which has no
sacred hours viii very soon have no in
terval of peaceful rest. Open the day
for unrestricted fun and frolic, and it will
soon be open for exacting toll"
